The 109SS is a rugged, accurate probe that measures soil or water temperature from -40° to +70°C. The 109SS consists of a thermistor encased in a sheath made from grade 316L stainless steel. The rugged stainless-steel sheath protects the thermistor, allowing you to bury or submerge the 109SS in harsh, corrosive environments. This probe also has a fast time response, and it can be easily interfaced with our dataloggers.
Read MoreThe 109SS thermistor can survive temperatures up to 100°C, but the overmolded joint and cable should not be exposed to temperatures hotter than +70°C.
The sensor can be submerged to 46 m (150 ft) or 63 psi. Please note that the 109SS is not weighted. Therefore, the installer should either add a weighting system or secure the sensor to a fixed, submerged object, such as a piling.
The 109SS is suitable for shallow burial only. Placement of the sensor’s cable inside a rugged conduit may be advisable for long cable runs—especially in locations subject to digging, mowing, traffic, use of power tools, or lightning strikes.

The instruction set for our CR200(X)-series, CR800-series, CR1000, and CR3000 dataloggers contains the Therm109 instruction for measuring the 109SS probe. Programming is more complicated for other data loggers because they must use generic measurement instructions.
The 109SS is suitable for shallow burial only. Placement of the sensor’s cable inside a rugged conduit may be advisable for long cable runs—especially in locations subject to digging, mowing, traffic, use of power tools, or lightning strikes.
